unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Rational Woman
A Feminist Critique of Dichotomy
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
To feminists and some postmodernists reason/emotion and man/woman represent two fundamental polarities, fixed deep within Western philosophy and reflected in the structures of our languages, and two sets of hierarchical power relations in patriarchal society. Raia Prokhovnik challenges the tradition of dualism and argues that rational woman need no longer be a contradiction in terms. Prokhovnik examines in turn: · the nature of dichotomy, its problems and an alternative · the reason/emotion dichotomy · dichotomies central to the man/woman dualism, such as sex/gender and the heterosexual/ist norm

SWOT is commonly used as part of strategic planning and looks at:
SWOT analysis aims to discover:
The result of the analysis is a matrix of positive and negative factors for management to address:
The key point to remember about SWOT is that:
Strengths and weaknesses
Opportunities and threats
Using SWOT analysis
There is no point producing a SWOT analysis unless it is actioned! SWOT analysis should be more than a list - it is an analytical technique to support strategic decisions
Strategy should be devised around strengths and opportunities
The key words are match and convert:
A key challenge for any business is to convert weaknesses into strengths. For example:
|Possible Response
|Outdated technology
|Acquire competitor with leading technology
|Skills gap
|Invest in training & more effective recruitment
|Overdependence on a single product
|Diversify the product portfolio by entering new markets
|Poor quality
|Invest in quality assurance
|High fixed costs
|Examine potential for outsourcing or offshoring
Don't forget that for every perceived threat, the same change presents an opportunity for business.

Does anyone actually sit at home and watch him? Why? Only get one channel?
Cramer is an idiot and a charlatan. But it does look like many people think an improving economy will help this comapny. It will be $3 by sometime sooon.
Has dropped $3 from its Tuesday close, not from its Wed close. Yahoo calculations are wrong across the board.
Showing a 11% drop. Actually has had a gain today.

Condom Nation:
The U.S. Government's Sex Education Campaign
America is not a "condom nation." American teenagers, for instance, have about the same rate of sexual activity as their European contemporaries. But they have a higher rate of sexually transmitted diseases, and of unplanned pregnancies, and of abortions. They aren't using condoms the way they ought. But Condom Nation: The U.S. Government's Sex Education Campaign from World War I to the Internet (Johns Hopkins University Press) is the title Alexandra M. Lord has given her book (can it be that she was not only being ironic, but was punning on "condemnation"?). Condoms work, and so do IUDs or the pill or other measures if all you want to do is prevent pregnancies. That's a good thing, but the bad thing is that they keep people who enjoy sex from bearing what other people think they ought to have as consequences from enjoying sex. Americans have a split on the issue: using a condom is a responsible action, but having the sex that makes using a condom a responsible action, well, that's irresponsible and immoral. Lord, a former historian for the Public Health Service, has documented this ambivalent stance throughout her fascinating book, which surprises throughout in showing just how little sex education changed through the twentieth century, even though we profited from an increase in scientific knowledge and from improved contraceptive and prophylactic technologies.
The split opinion has often been seen as medicine on one side and morality on the other. Though there was a generally positive opinion about sex education up to the 1960s, that was to change as young people got more openly sexually active and, of course, when AIDS became an issue. President Ronald Reagan spoke about the split openly and simplistically in 1987 when he said, "After all, when it comes to preventing AIDS, don't medicine and morality teach the same lessons?" They do not teach the same lessons, nor do they teach opposite ones; they are quite obviously different ways of looking at a problem. Conflating the two, or insisting on their opposition, has played a big role in defeating the efforts of the Public Health Service. The service didn't have these problems when came into being. It had its roots in the eighteenth century within the Marine Hospital Service, which was dedicated to treating American seamen; in doing so, it offered some protection to the rest of society from epidemics. (The military connection is why we have a "surgeon general" as our chief public health officer.) When science began to understand the role germs played in illness, the Marine Health Service performed such non-nautical efforts as investigating dairies for typhoid. The organization became the Public Health Service in 1912. There wasn't anything controversial about the PHS fighting typhoid, tuberculosis, or malaria: they weren't connected to sex.
By the late nineteenth century, some Americans were shocked by what they saw as changes in sexual behavior. Women were going to work, for instance, and courtships were started in the workplace without the family being around to provide chaperones. Reformers felt that it was essential to protect young women; the Ku Klux Klan wanted to protect white women, for instance, and more liberal reformers wanted to protect immigrant and working class women. Antony Comstock was shocked by the "vice" he saw in New York City, and championed the involvement of the federal government (as well as private organizations like the YMCA) to protect mothers and future mothers. Certainly the government wanted to promote health and productivity, and the PHS early produced sex education materials to be used not at the federal level, but stamped by state boards of health or private organizations as their own. That federal sex education had to be done piecemeal like this, with modifications state-by-state, is a constant theme of Lord's book, and contrasts with the efficacy of national sex education efforts in other countries.
After World War One, with growing confidence that there was effective treatment for syphilis and gonorrhea, the PHS constructed its health education against disease, not against pregnancy; babies were held to be the welcome effect of sex, which ought to happen in marriage anyway. It sponsored Keeping Fit, a campaign for young men, emphasizing athletics, self-control, and willpower. It hardly mentioned reproduction or sexual diseases. While the PHS could not, in 1918, repeat scientifically unsound folklore about masturbation causing blindness or insanity, it could say that the practice was the result of a lack of self control, the same lack that would lead to venereal disease someday. Abstinence was stressed and condoms were not mentioned. By 1937, the PHS broke the taboo on mentioning condoms, referring to them in a short sentence in a pamphlet on syphilis and gonorrhea that explained that condoms protect both the man and the woman. The government was not interested in preventing pregnancies, and no contraceptive use of condoms was mentioned. In the years around World War Two, when soldiers were being briefed on the necessity of condoms, kids in school were not; there was a study (now realized as flawed) that kids who learned about condoms would be encouraged into sexual experimentation, so schools taught morals instead of public health. Federally funded efforts to increase sexual knowledge would remain weakened because of fear of offense to conservative segments of American society.
Conservative teaching was just what was expected when C. Everett Koop was appointed by President Reagan in 1981 to be surgeon general. Progressives were worried that the born-again Koop was only there to appease evangelicals and to reverse the legality of abortions. Koop knew little about Washington, and assumed he would be able to advocate sex education any way he thought best. For the first five years of his tenure, however, he was forbidden to talk publicly about the newly-understood AIDS epidemic. When unleashed, he spoke like a doctor but not the way the fundamentalists wanted him to. His 36-page report on AIDS was widely disseminated in 1986, and not only did it explain that the disease was a public menace (not just to "any one segment of society"), and that those who merely shook hands, kissed, used public restrooms, or masturbated were safe from it, it also depicted condoms and stressed their usefulness. Koop thought he was building a bridge between religion and science, but he alienated many Christian fundamentalists, who named him the "Condom King."
Such fundamentalists were much more comfortable with abstinence-only programs which were pushed especially during the second Bush presidency. (The biggest news during the Clinton years, besides the education many people got about what oral sex was, was when his appointed surgeon general Joycelyn Elders publicly announced that masturbation was part of human sexuality and might be a subject of classroom discussion, a harmless and correct stance that got her fired.) The medical and moral forces on the abstinence question continually talk past each other: yes, if you abstain you can never get pregnant or catch a disease from sex; but yes, people are not by nature abstinent and need other tools. Not only was abstinence stressed, there was condom-bashing that was unscientific and untrue. It isn't surprising that teens who took abstinence-before-marriage pledges broke them almost 90% of the time, but they were far less likely (perhaps because they had been told how wicked or unreliable condoms were) to use condoms when they strayed. It isn't surprising that many states were refusing to accept federal dollars for abstinence nonsense.Lord's book provides an entertaining and useful historic overview that shows, mostly, that we have not gotten far from where the PHS started. In 1918, parents and teachers were in favor of government-sponsored sex education; today, they still are. The question has always been what to teach, and it has always been colored by our worry about sex, and that young people indulge in it, and even that some of them might masturbate. If the best we can come up with after all this time is abstinence, it is hard to be optimistic that the PHS will be able to get useful scientific advice out to the public as long as conservative religious forces are holding it back.

So I have a C# Windows Application within which I have an FTP method that works for sure.
Strangely the application fails at the FTP part for a particular user account(with Admin privileges) and it does not happen always. Pretty random. Even stranger part is when we delete that account and recreate it with Admin privileges, it works fine again.
PS- The FTP server and this box are all on the same network, so the FTP server is pingable always.
Any ideas why it fails randomly for the FTP?

Erika winds down, no longer threatens Florida

Handling broken promises
|| Print |
|Guest Blog
|Wednesday, November 17, 2010
By Tom Cox
Just had a client ask about how to best handle a nagging problem -- his people were loose and lax about keeping internal promises and hitting internal deadlines.
2. Optionally, explain briefly how YOU contributed to the problem (not what others did): "I failed to allow enough time for my subcontractor to do the revisions." This is about your role -- do NOT throw others under the bus.
3. Demonstrate your compassion by stating in a sentence or two how you know they are affected: "I know this puts you back and could shove you into working on the weekend, or incurring overtime charges."
4. Re-promise: "I will have it in your hands by noon Friday." Be sure this is a deadline you can keep.
5. Offer to help clean it up: "If you have to work the weekend, I'll be in here with you to help." Or, "I'll cover any overtime charges out of my budget, not yours."
6. Optionally, tell them your new commitment more generally: "You have my commitment that in the future I will check with the subcontractor about their turnaround time, rather than assuming it, and I will commit to being on time in the future."

YMMV: The Authority
The comic book superhero team
- Complete Monster: Seth Cowie is a sadistic (implied) child rapist who calls himself the "Six Billion Dollar Bastard". Tired of the Authority's interference in their affairs and afraid of their influence on the world (particularly after the Doctor ruined two presidential candidates by causing them to make out in public), a coalition of interests decided to develop a living weapon capable of defeating the Authority. To this end, they either acquired or kidnapped Seth, an skinny, ignorant, and unambitious hillbilly with an apparent history of being sexually abused by his uncles, transformed him into a cybernetically-enhanced monstrosity, then set him loose inside the Carrier. Armed with over 1,000 post-human abilities, Seth very quickly neutralized all of the Authority, with the sole exception of the Midnighter and Jenny Quantum, who managed to steal a jet and crash it into the side of the Carrier. Despite this, Seth ripped the Carrier from its orbit and scuttled it in Antarctica. Convinced that Midnighter and Quantum were dead, the coalition allowed Seth to retire to a residence within the White House with a harem of prepubescent girls. The surviving Authority members, meanwhile, were all dumped into degrading new lives while the team was replaced by a new team approved by the seven richest governments on Earth. Unbeknownst to all at the time, Seth's scuttling of the Carrier tore a hole in the Bleed.
- Designated Hero: In the beginning, the Authority were hardline with their ideals and used violence reasonably. With Jack Hawksmoor as leader receiving the position after Jenny Sparks's death, the Authority became increasingly predisposed toward unyielding moral positions and merciless brutality as time went on, but the entry of another character, Jenny Quantum/Quarx, as a member of the team softened them somewhat. Now, their level of violence is about par for Wildstorm's post-apocalyptic world, so they're no better or worse than any other group.
- Right from the start, this was the case. Ellis has said on more than one occasion that he wrote the Authority as villains, just ones who happened to fight even bigger villains. The first story arc does end with Midnighter plowing a giant swathe through a populated city just to reach one person, after all. If that's not enough for you, one arc later the Authority stops an invasion from a parallel Earth by totally and indiscriminately destroying a whole country to eliminate enemy's infrastructure, even though by that point it is clear that the invaders are completely outmatched by them anyway. Starting from Miller's run, however, the comic increasingly turned into a vehicle for political Author Tracts, where the Authority were indeed designated to be heroes, although, obviously not all readers were convinced.
- In the "Utopian" arc, their actions kill off an entire alternate earth.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Midnighter. He even got his own series (a short lived one but still).
- Fanon: Artists have given Midnighter several different hair colours, probably because he keeps his cowl on so much that none of them know any better. Fans have used this to draw the conclusion that the otherwise Manly Gay Midnighter just loves to dye his hair.
- In a Storm Watch: Achilles comic, Midnighter admits that he's a natural redhead. He just likes to dye his hair.
The professional wrestling stable
- Arc Fatigue: The angle started at SummerSlam 2013, and lasted until Survivor Series 2014, meaning it lasted about fifteen months. And then after only a month of absence, they were instated thanks to Seth Rollins threatening Edge, meaning that the angle is still going and is now approaching the two-year mark.
- Peopple were calling for the angle to be torched after 2 months (perticularly the utter refund material that was every PPV between Summerslam 2013 and Mania XXX), and yet it's now been going for over 2 years.
- Creator's Pet: It's Hunter's world; we're just living in it. Like The Corporation before it, part of the reason why The Authority has lasted for so long in WWE is because of the McMahon family's creator status since their power is not only kayfabe, and the fact that Triple H and Stephanie enjoy being reality TV stars just as much as Vince and Shane did. The Big Show and Kane may be even more hated than Triple H and Stephanie are, especially given that they're viewed as far less intriguing characters. In fact the only member of the Authority that the IWC has a high opinion of is Seth Rollins.
- Fridge Brilliance:
- The repeated mandate that WWE Management cannot place it's hands on WWE Talent is clear hypocrisy, considering this is exactly how the Authority got the WWE title on their preferred champion to kick-off the angle. It doesn't make any sense, until you realize the Board of Directors probably tore into Triple H over it & made the ruling because of it.
- The Authority wanting Randy Orton to win the World Heavyweight Championship ladder match and Seth Rollins to win the traditional Money in the Bank match. At first, you might wonder why the Authority would seemingly be setting their favorites against each other—since Rollins would have to cash in on Orton and thus cause tension and dissension between them—before you realize that they likely weren't going to let Rollins cash in at all had Orton won; they wanted Orton to win the title, and Rollins to win the contract to keep it out of the hands of the rest of the wrestlers to protect Orton from having an "undesirable" cash in on him and possibly take the title off him, and when somebody finally does beat Orton, Rollins can make that cash-in and bring the title right back to the Authority. Since Orton lost, however, Rollins has turned into the ace up their sleeves—while they continue to try to set things up for Orton to win, they can still position Rollins to win the title as a back-up plan when the moment is right and if Orton continues to disappoint, they can simply shift all their favor to Rollins.
- The Authority's irritation with John Cena winning the title when Cena is (by most people's estimation) a star manufactured by the company machine...
- Cena is notoriously hard to control. Only one man has managed it in several years, and that didn't last long. Not to mention that any attempt to do so, as hinted in the segment on the RAW immediately after Money In The Bank 2014, might snap him back to his early-to-mid-2000s self, which wouldn't be good for anybody involved. Thug!Cena had a mean streak a mile wide, even as a face. And for a bit more Fridge Brilliance, a return to that form, in the Authority's estimation, wouldn't be "best for business"explanation
- Cena is also notoriously hard to beat straight-up when he wins a title belt, so it's much more difficult to get a title off him than it is most other people.
- It's not good for Seth Rollins and the plans for him within the Authority, either. Let's put it this way: the last guy that tried to cash in a MITB contract on Cena... well, it didn't go so well.
- The whole "going against what the fans want is best for business" thing makes complete sense when you remember two things. One, that the company's dedication in recent years to restoring the clean-cut, family-friendly image that it had before the Attitude Era has largely been for both political reasons and to keep up rapport with corporate sponsors. Two, Vince McMahon's infamously-stated personal philosophy when it comes to what the fans want is that he'll tell them what they want (meaning WWE can get fans to accept just about anything and/or anyone if presented correctly, and even fans who the company is seemingly incapable of pleasing for one reason or another will usually stick around out of either masochism or hope for change). The Authority are the kayfabe exaggeration of the company's own view that the corporate sponsors are much more variable as a factor to their success than the fans are; as such, they don't care much at all about the fans' opinion because they don't think they have to.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: At the start of the angle, the Authority really hammered in that their actions were "Best for business". The first two pay per view events after the start of the angle were so poorly received that the WWE had to provide refunds to the paying audience.
- It's Been Done: Let's see, an authority-based stable that features a member of the family that owns the company at the top, ridiculous heel behavior, AND an unabashed attempt to screw over an insanely popular babyface? The comparisons between them and Vince McMahon's "Corporation" angle are frequent.
- It's the Fleeting Demographic Rule in full effect - the Corporation & McMahon-Helmsley Regime were both done nearly a decade & a half ago. Except unlike most instances of that rule, it pays full homage to continuity rather than pretending it doesn't exist, and can perhaps be appreciated more by those fans that were around in the late 90s-mid 2000s. Call it something of a Parental Bonus.
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: After 2014 Royal Rumble, the group, specially Triple H & Stephanie McMahon were much better received by IWC, in part due to them escalating their heel character & their feud with Daniel Bryan & Shield which resulted in some of the best matches of the year.
- Villain Sue: To more than a few. Combined with their aforementioned Arc Fatigue, they've Karma Houdini'd past each big threat to them (Daniel Bryan, The Shield, Team Cena, Sting, etc.). And with nearly each key member recently winning a title (the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for Seth Rollins, the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy for The Big Show, etc.), it's only worsened.

When all is said and done, Obama is actually one of the most powerful men on earth and bibi is NOT. Obama could order that a Predator fire a hellfire missile on bibi and it would be done within an hour. Sure congress might whimper in disapproval, but there is nothing Congress can do other than impeach the president and that is a long drawn out process that is not guaranteed to actually work. bibi has now barfed in Obama's dinner plate and that could have extremely negative consequences for Israel. For example in September, maybe Obama will invite the entire US staff at the UN to lunch at the Whitehouse on the day the Palestine vote is taken. Ooops, the US "missed" the vote. And after Obama wins in 2012, why would he ever want to do anything to help Israel? No matter what Congress says, the President is the one that actually does things and the President can just ignore Congress.

Dancers (in alphabetical order):
Fred Astaire, Bill Bailey, Buck and Bubbles, Cab Calloway, Clark Brothers, Sammy Davis Jr., Daniel L. Haynes, Rubberneck Holmes, Patterson and Jackson, Eleanor Powell, Bill Robinson, Three Chefs (only the feet), Tip Tap and Toe (feat. Ray Winfield), Earl Snakehips Tucker
Video edited by CFJ
My second Michael Jackson related video. Since the first one "Fred Astaire in Smooth Criminal" seems quite well-received, I decided to make another one. This time the theme is "who devised the moonwalk?".
As some people already know, a dance move called the moonwalk (a.k.a. backslide) had been existed before it became the "moonwalk". The video features the ancient moonwalkers and other greats who possibly influenced MJ's style of dancing.
The most well-known dancer as the "orignal moonwalker" should be Bill Bailey who performed it in the film Showtime At The Apollo (1955), which was also featured in the movie Tap (1989). But actually Bill Bailey, pupil of Bill Robinson, performed the very same step as early as 1943 in the movie Cabin In The Sky, which you can see here as well as the 1955 film.
The various scenes used in the video are from 1929 to 1955 (except Sammy Davis Jr. from '65 and '67). The oldest one is from Hallelujah, featuring Daniel L. Haynes as a minister pantomiming a train at a prayer meeting. I was totally amazed by his movement when I first saw that movie.
The most influential dancer on MJ's dancing is no doubt James Brown, but you can also trace the roots and origins of his style to those greats in the first half of the 20th century.
So, the question - "who devised the moonwalk?".
My answer is "nobody". Or all the great imaginative dancers, including MJ, who made great efforts to move foward (should I say "backward" in this case?). I think the moonwalk is not a thing someone suddenly came up with one day. There must have been so many great unknown dancers other than the ones who were lucky to be recorded... In other words, Rome was not built in a day.

Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

Mod to Suedehead - Page 876post #13126 of 220266/22/13 at 12:13pmKingstonian. The suit in Next was better in colour/pattern but the material was poor,if it goes in the sale for £15 i will have the trousers. The M and S trousers are really nice material and they look good with my semi brogues and a white shirt,i would buy the suit but to be honest it would never get worn,a good price too i thought.

I never had one,but talking of thing I would never wear back in the day that I would have worn since is the Schott "Perfecto" motorcycle jacket.The early 80's Harley guys in Paris always seemed to wear the chocolate Brown ones which I never saw outside of France and really looked great IMO.Like the MA-1 it's a timeless classic.post #13133 of 220266/22/13 at 1:34pmQuote:Originally Posted by Clouseau
About polos.
I know that in England you usually button the polo to the top. This is a rule that comes from mod era, i think.
In my youth here, the rule was to have the top button undone, so that the collar makes a little V (like with a shirt BS style, top button unbuttoned).
Apparently in the time, listening to the Originals, you had in England different ways to adopt the style according to the areas.
Never, ever, did my T shirts up to the top (That's what they were called then !) Yes the Mods did it ,but from my recollection it died out untill the Eighties mostly.Then along with regular shirts being done up to the top (Big Country etc) it seemed to come back.Maybe it was different in other areas,but not for us.It looks to formal IMOQuote:Originally Posted by kashmir

Absolutely! And if anyone gives me anything red (e.g. a running event t-shirt) I immediately dye it maroon or purple. Yes, pathetic and childish, I know..........
However, it goes beyond football allegiance ....... red just doesn't match anything else in my wardrobe. For the same reason I don't wear anything black, other than shoes or, on a rare occasion, a dinner jacket. I have a predominantly red tie which has navy, sky and white stripes. I bought it solely to wear with the sky blue shirt I had for my Son's rugby tour. The club badge on the shirt is mostly red.

Here's a repeat of a pic, from 1968 or early 1969 I think, of me and 'Cockney Bob' wearing hankies which matched our Ben Shermans. It's been on the thread before, of course.post #13139 of 220266/23/13 at 1:47am
